... a pool a liability. I'm just wondering for those with pools: 1. how much time do you spend maintaining the pool. 2. Do you contract out the upkeep/maintenance 3. What do you do yourself for maintenance etc. vs what do you get someone else to do. Thanks.

I have been browsing condo listings and I came across 205 Hilda Ave with maintenance fees unchanged since 2011 at 36 cents per square foot (including all utilities & cable)!! This is an old building (1975) and isn't bare bones (pool, sauna etc..). This just ...

I've done some research online and it is not conclusive, but wanted to see what the community thinks. I have a 2015 Camry, I've been following the maintenance schedule with the dealership, but at the 32000K mark, they recommend much more than just an oil change. I honestly plan on getting a buy-out ...

To my understanding, we should flush the tankless water heater annually with vinegar.

Anyway, I am thinking I should consider doing it this year. I wonder ...

Comparing to Toronto? This would make sense if utilities were included as Vancouver is warmer, but I was also comparing fees to London, ON where buildings are a lot older which should make the fees higher, but they are not. Generally the fees seem to be 20-30% cheaper in comparable buildings. Why so...
